Location Management
Location Type◦ Bulk, Inspect, Retain LPN, Quick Pick etc. ◦ Putaway task created◦ Velocity
Location Capacities◦ Default Dimension, L/H/W Volume Weight UOM◦ Container Type◦ Max Quantity unique to this location
Locations◦ Storage Rules Enforced – Temperature, Humidity, Storage Type◦ ABC Velocity zone management – task directed warehouse re-org◦ Dynamic Slotting – location rules based on velocity model
Dynamic Slotting – Velocity Model
Location of materials to optimize storage and order fulfillment rates
◦ Usage detail analyzed to create ABC-like hierarchy for material location
◦ Items assigned space by Velocity code
◦ Directed Put-away assigns location based on this code
◦ Periodic analysis of Velocity Code vs. actual location
◦ Warehouse location re-organization generates move tasks in Task Manager
Packaging Types Full Pallet Cartons Inner pack / outer pack SKU’s License Plating
◦ Used to minimize transactions◦ Organize for shipment◦ Organize for customer
Used by Allocations to Minimize Number of Pieces to Pick
